actually, this will not work, since file names with a space in them will
be parsed as two (or more) separate words, in the for-loop.

Hi all,
lately I have had to deal with a lot of windoze filenames and am
wondering if ther is a utility/script to remove the spaces
automatically.
Thanks

You can use bash replacement feature:
# A="Hello This is a test"
# echo $A
Hello This is a test
# echo ${A// /}
HelloThisisatest
A simple for loop and mv should handle it, example:
for i in *; do mv "$i" "${i// /}"; done
If you have lots files in a dir, it could pose a problem, using find
and -exec can help with that.
